Public bug reported:
/usr/bin/bson2json opens the input file in text mode:
ifh = open(sys.argv[1])
This inevitably causes the tool to crash, e.g.:
```
/tmp$ echo '{}' >x.json
/tmp$ json2bson x.json >x.bson
/tmp$ bson2json x.bson
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bson2json", line 84, in <module>
data = fh_loaders[itype](ifh)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/bin/bson2json", line 24, in <lambda>
"bson": lambda fh: next(bson.decode_file_iter(fh)),
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bson/__init__.py", line 1159, in
decode_file_iter
obj_size = _UNPACK_INT_FROM(size_data, 0)[0] - 4
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
```
The problem vanishes if I change the call to:
ifh = open(sys.argv[1], 'rb')
Looks like the broken `open` call is specific to debian/ubuntu, I see no
traces of it in the upstream github repo
